    This location used to be amazing – it had a friendly, knowledgeable staff and great vets. Unfortunately, over the last few years, the quality has dropped significantly. Most of the good vets have left, leaving only Dr. Sommers. One time I brought my dog in and they pushed vaccinations so aggressively that my dog nearly died. If it hadn’t been for a vet (who has since left for Newton) stepping in, my dog wouldn’t be alive today. This place has turned into nothing more than a corporate money grab. They will load your pet up with unnecessary vaccinations without considering breed-specific risks or reactions. ⚠️ BEWARE: Do your own research before trusting them with your pet’s health. I won’t be going back – and you shouldn’t either.

    I'll forever be grateful for vca Blairstown, Dr. Clegg, Gail, Linda, all the techs. I am bad with names but everyone here! Our dogs go here and will continue to. Our girl moonshine got extensive care for her kidney disease for over 4.5 years! Any time we called we were in when we wanted! Anything she needed she got. The customer service and care at this facility is top notch. Moonshine loved coming in and seeing everyone. Getting compliments from Dr. Clegg was her favorite 💚 Sadly our girl passed recently but we will still be around with our girl stelly!
